SanDisk (SNDK) has returned nearly 1,600% over the past twelve months and still trades at 19.5 times earnings, against an S&P 500 median of 22.4. It sits about 35% below its 52-week high.

The catch: this fall is smaller than the ones the record measures. And SanDisk now sells much of its memory under multiyear contracts.

Over the past 3 years the stock has returned about 12x, which raises the question of how much future cash generation is already reflected in the...

According to CNBC, the sell-off was triggered by an essay published over the weekend by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who urged a more cautious approach to frontier model advancement and called for independent safety monitoring.

The argument against them is about a ceiling on margins. The number that complicates it is the share count.
